Slide Show: Moises Saman in Cairo

The photographer Moises Saman is in Cairo, where he has documented mass demonstrations and a makeshift morgue in a city that remains the site of intense violence. On Wednesday, security forces using live fire moved in to break up sit-ins led by the Muslim Brotherhood; at least six hundred and thirty-eight people were killed in that assault, and nearly two hundred more during and after protests Friday, with a siege of the Fatah Mosque continuing Saturday. Saman, a veteran combat photographer, has covered the Arab Spring and the Syrian civil war for The New Yorker.
